20rds – 500 S&W Magnum Hornady Backcountry Defense 500gr. DGH Ammo Details

You’ve finally made it. After a years-long application process, grueling physical testing, even more years of specialized training, and a harrowing space voyage, you have finally become the first man (or lady) to set foot on Mars.

You scan the very red expanse surrounding your spaceship. You spot a largish rock that you think would make an excellent focal point for your organic spice garden, when all of a sudden, from out of the blue (red?) comes a ferocious space bear.

Fortunately, NASA trained you for this very scenario. You pull out your space revolver – chambered for the spaceman’s preferred 500 S&W Magnum cartridge – and let that extraterrestrial goober have it.

“It’s a good thing I bought this Hornady Backcountry Defense ammunition back on Earth,” you think to yourself. “Its special 500 grain Dangerous Game Handgun (DGH) bullets are designed to excel at only one aspect of terminal ballistics: deep penetration. The DGH would fail the FBI test protocol for self-defense ammo with flying colors (for some reason, I can only think of red at the moment), but its near certainty of over-penetration through a human target only attests to its suitability for dropping large and aggressive space bears. And besides, this is the 500 S&W Magnum we’re talking about. No one uses it for defense at home or in urban environments.”

Your astute observation concluded, you set straight to work colonizing Mars, which you begin by cleaning your space revolver.
